Available for the first time since its original release on the Italian Ri-Fi label, Maria Monti’s 1974 LP Il Bestario is a rare item even in its native country. Monti is an Italian singer and actress with a noteworthy career, performing as a cabaret singer in the ’60s, an ambitious avant-garde folk artist in the ’70s, and starring in films by directors such Sergio Leone (Fistful of Dynamite) and Bernardo Bertolucci (1900) all the while. In addition to lyrics by the infamous poet Aldo Braibanti, Il Bestiario features arrangements and synthesizer from legendary avant-garde composer Alvin Curran, as well as the soprano saxophone of jazz great Steve Lacy. The music is a prime example of “the new art-song” of the 1970s, as Curran calls it—lush, dynamic, and full of intelligence and beauty. Sourced from original master tapes and remastered by Taylor Deupree; strictly limited to 500 copies on CD and packaged in a tip-on mini-LP sleeve with original artwork.
